Get the Most out of Moving Companies
In order to get the most that you possibly can out of your moving company, you must first do a little bit of research on moving companies Help U Move has a good piece of information on what kind of information to ask about when making a consideration. Things to ask include: date of incorporation, whether or not they are a BBB member, whether drivers/movers are licensed, etc...
Be Persistent- Stick to Your Guns
Once you have decided on the company you will use, you should also be specific and persistent with what you are trying to accomplish. Specifically, you should tell the moving company all of the important details.
Be sure not to forget "common-sense" items and instructions. If you have something special that you want to be handled with care, make sure to mark it somehow so that the movers know for sure.
Split up the Payments
Also, and most importantly, if you are having a big job completed and having the company do a lot of stuff, make sure not to pay everything up front. If you do this, you will lose any possible leverage you might have had if something bad happens. This is analogous to construction companies who demand 70-100% before starting. If they want to do this, tell them no. Be firm. Also, don't be afraid to "send them packing!" But above all, make sure to watch your items to ensure proper handeling. A moving company will not mind you sticking around and watching.
